With the Shaker Table complete it's time to ponder my next few projects. After a big shop clean up and the construction/installation of the lumber rack I'll be working on some furniture projects for the local church. The first and most complex being a lectern.

The design brief: simple single column construction, adjustable in height (0.9 to 1.3m), table to hold 2 A4 pages, and two XLR panel mounts for gooseneck microphone and LED light (with cabling tunneled within). It will of course be solid timber (cedar and huon most likely), dovetailed base and top, and probably an inlayed cross.

Getting the proportions and the visual weights of the different elements I see as the biggest challenge.
